“Born and raised far away from the ocean, Sebastian wanted the impossible: He wanted to become a surfer. With no one but himself believing in his dream, he left his home as a teenager and fought his way to becoming one of the most decorated big wave surfers of our time. A very human and truly inspiring story.”

He left home and headed to Hawaii, where surfing legend Nelson Armitage Sr. took him in and taught him the sport.
Thanks for the inspirational info on Sebastian. It would be fun to have a Pilsner with him and probably you too!
